Abstract
Kagami-bari is a roof structure style widely used in Shounai Region, where a small beam directly supports the ridge beam. First, the area of distribution and the various nomenclatures for the style were surveyed. The process of building extensions to the Abumi-ya (a sea merchant family's office and residence in Sakata) was analyzed as a study case for dating the periods when Kagamr-bari was introduced into townhouses. Then, examples of Kagami-bari in surveyed structures were compared to clarify how this style spread throughout the region.
